All veggies for $50?
So sorry, somehow Mlem just deleted my message regarding what you would buy if you had $50 to get as much as you could food-wise (thought of it because I just spent $50 at Woolies shopping).
Assume you have a fridge, place to cook etc. Also, you can go to any supermarket etc. or multiple.
Edit: So… I hadn’t really planned for a longer period, but $50 got me:
Light burger buns, 4 burger patties, small tinned beetroot and pineapple. 2 small different types of mustards, another garlic sauce thingy, 2 mangoes, small handful of spinach, breakfast cereal, a small punnet of sliced mushrooms, 2 bottles of tonic (Fever Tree), a small bunch of broccolini and asparagus. (I think that was it?)
Yes. You have a place to cook and have a fridge/pantry etc.
Q for the collective: You have $50 and need to make it go as far as possible food-wise. No restrictions on supermarket or visits to multiple. What do you buy?
(Just thought about this as I spent around $50 at Woolies.)
Carrot man was in the Op Shop?
Holy Moley. That’s an effort! Looks great.
Kinda murderous… 🤔
I like it. 😂
53… I just can’t. So sad.
Oh, I totally get it. My respect/affection for my boss is because they were just someone who seemed to have me pegged from the get go and without my even noticing, just let me work where I was strongest. To be trusted in certain scenarios is something I value, but I guess I never realised how deeply it mattered and how much it matters to be seen without it needing to be verbalised.
I think it’s an approach a lot more places could/should adopt. Cannot tell you how much I loathe, loathe, loathe reviews. They can get in a bin. I think employees would do so much better if they’re told on the spot things that need to change, be addressed or fixed instead.
Such is life. I’m glad I was honest and let them know how I felt. I hope that it made them feel valued and maybe somewhat validated in the end. They’re onto bigger pastures, but I still miss them.
I was upset when my old boss finished up. I mean I knew it was coming and it wasn’t like we worked together day in day out. In fact I rotated back and forth between teams. For me it was comfort of having someone there that I trusted.
Edit: Ah, my bad. I just read yesterday’s reply. Being blindsided can take a while to get over.
That’s really interesting. Thanks TW.
Personally, I don’t need to budget so tightly, but I do find it a good exercise to see how far my dollar can go. It could probably go further if I did market runs. I actually keep frozen green beans, spinach and brussel sprouts in the fridge which I find super helpful.
